   Other Military EngagementsBeyond these major wars, the U.S. has been involved in numerous smaller conflicts, interventions, and peacekeeping missions, including operations in Somalia, Yemen, Libya, Syria, and against drug cartels in Latin America. Since WWII, there has not been a single year without U.S. military forces engaged somewhere in the world. Wikipedia+1Legal and Authorization ContextThe U.S. has not formally declared war since World War II. Instead, military actions have been authorized through Congressional resolutions, such as the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), and the 2002 Iraq AUMF, or initiated by the executive branch. This distinction means that while the U.S. has engaged in at least 36 major wars and hundreds of smaller interventions, only five wars in U.S. history received formal declarations, all prior to 1945. legalclarity.org+1Summary
   • Major wars since WWII: 6–7 notable conflicts (Korea, Vietnam, Gulf, Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq).
   • Total military interventions: Hundreds, with at least 36 classified as major wars. 1
   • Continuous engagement: U.S. forces have been active in combat somewhere in the world every year since WWII. 1This demonstrates that the United States has maintained a near-constant military presence globally, with a combination of large-scale wars and smaller interventions shaping its post-WWII military history.
